MA, delirium tremens, which is an acute
stage of chronic alcoholism, to end in
general paralysis and death. 1t is in
the Scandinavian provinces where a
great quantity of brandy distilled from
potatoes is consumed that alcoholism
attains its maximum. In France crimes
have augmented in proportion to the
use of Industrial alcOhols. Alcohol pro-
dnces the effects of anticipated old age,
which scarcely lasts beyond ten years.
Nearly half OF the crimes proceed from
alcoholism, Is fl per cent. being sui

taking into account that they inherit
from their ascenddnts al irresistible
propensity for strong liquors.
